My wife knew a kid in high school named Roy. Roy had a brother. His name was Roy. In fact, Roy had four brothers all named…Roy. True story.
My “brother” Esteban Guzman.
Did you know I have a brother in Texas? His name is Steve too. We are actually brothers from another mother bound together by our love of Chicago style hot dogs.
I remember getting a phone call from Stevie a few years ago. He had found my website and wanted to ask me if a person could really make money selling hot dogs.
I said yes, but like any other business he would only get out of it what he put into it. I also told him I would help him in any way I could. (That goes for you too, dear reader.)
I distinctly recall the enthusiasm in his voice. I could tell he had the “hustle” that every born entrepreneur possesses, and that he would do very well.
Fast forward to today – Steve now runs “Stevie’s Red Hot Weenies” in Belton, Texas from a gorgeous metal covered E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart that he built in his yard. And dig this…
Stevie recently quit his J.O.B. to sell hot dogs full time. I’m so proud of you bro!!!
Last week I wrote an article about signature hot dogs and photo menus. Mi hermano Stevie sent me these pictures of the beautiful hot dogs he prepares. I thought you would like to see them. (see the photo gallery below).
Now it’s your turn – let’s see what you can do. I want to see your best, most creative hot dogs. I don’t care if you made them on a cart or in your kitchen. What is important is that you show your creativity.
Email pictures of the most beautiful hot dogs you ever made to steve@HotDogProfits.com and I’ll post them right here.
Can’t wait to see ’em, and as always let me know how I can help you!

Great article Steve. Well deserved “Gooz” is a good man!
He is indeed!
Wow!!! This just makes me continue to finish my cart and get out there and make it happen. Great photos Stevie!
Great photos and delicious looking hot dogs! Gives me some ideas about “kickin'” it up a notch on my cart. The pictures will sell the gourmet creations every time.
Thanks for sharing!
To all of you hard working slingers
I have for many years worked the cart at many events,functions, and at all hours of the day and or nite, sometimes double even triple booked, always looking for a better location. Now I have been frugal and have been blessed with the opportunity to purchase a deli inside an office building. Working M-F 7am -3pm and doing different events with the hot dog cart for the last 3 years, I now have just decided to sell my cart and leave the slinging to others. I have enjoyed this site often reading it in the wee hours and want to say thank you to Steve et al for what he has provided tru this site, and thanks for the opinions of all that have shared.

Good for you Joe. Don’t lose touch!
Awesome problem is if I prepare these signature dogs and they dont sell fast enough Im losing money to but fresh ingredients for them……..I wanna put one out and see how it goes I think a dlaw dog would seel good here in S.C.
Keep your perishable condiments on ice in your cooler, then you can reuse them. Let me know how the slaw dog goes.
ok, is there a recipe for that cabbage relish? looks delish!
